Chapter 923 The Seventh Floor of the Pagoda

The Little Witch asked first, “Little Brother, is the earth a mountain? Or, a village? Can you take me there to play when you have time? I want to see the place where you grew up.”

“Uh…” Qin Haodong was speechless for a while. He found that his worries had been unnecessary. These people didn’t know what earth meant and what its concept was.

He said, “To be honest, I can’t find the way back so I can’t go back in a short time.”

The Little Witch said with a little disappointment, “Oh! Little Brother, you are so stupid that you can’t even find the way home.”

Qin Haodong shook his head. He didn’t want to continue this complex topic. He said, “Who’s next?”

“Let me do it!”

Zhao Xingyue did not hesitate to step into the light circle of the soul interrogation.

When she stood still, the voice sounded again, “Who are you? Where are you from?”

When they heard this question, everyone looked at Zhao Xingyue with interest.

Qin Haodong knew that the girl must have her own secrets. However, Zhao Xingyue did not tell him, so he didn’t ask. Now that the soul interrogation had asked this question, the answer would soon be revealed.

“I am Zhao Xingyue, the Princess of the Tortoise Kingdom!”

After hearing this answer, everyone present was stunned. They didn’t expect that this girl who was as timid as a hare had such an amazing identity and background.

The Little Witch cried out in surprise, “Sister Xingyue is a Princess! The one who sleeps in the same bed with me every day is a Princess!”

Qin Haodong was also a little surprised. He had thought that Zhao Xingyue was just the daughter of a big family but he didn’t expect that she was the daughter of the King.

Everyone was shocked. When they were talking about it, the voice asked again, “Who is the person you love most?”

Zhao Xingyue was in the light circle. She couldn’t see anything in front of her but she still couldn’t help glancing in the direction of Qin Haodong.

“The one I love most is my Big Brother Qin. I overcame my inner demon for him. I will do anything for him…”

“Uh…”

Hearing such a sincere confession, Qin Haodong was moved but embarrassed for a moment.

The other girls also looked over. Each of them had a complicated expression and had their own secrets.

Soon, Zhao Xingyue passed the soul interrogation and returned to the crowd with her head lowered.

After the confession earlier, she was flushed and extremely shy at the moment. She did not even have the courage to raise her head to look at the crowd.

The Little Witch took her hand and said with a smile, “Sister Xingyue, don’t be embarrassed. Confession is also a kind of courage. My little brother is so excellent. It’s not shameful to like him.

“If I am not wrong, who knows how many people will say that they like my little brother later.”

Qin Haodong raised his hand and knocked her on the head. “Little girl, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Don’t hit my head. How can I be a summoner if I become stupid because you hit my head?” the Little Witch said discontentedly, “If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. The other sisters will also say that they like you.”

The third one who stepped into the light circle of the soul interrogation was Fang Qiong’er. The fourth was Yun Qianqian, the fifth was Murong Jinghong, and the sixth was Tu Jiaojiao.

Everyone truthfully answered the questions of the soul interrogation. An awkward scene appeared. There were five girls present. All of them liked Qin Haodong, including the Little Witch herself.

“Little Brother, am I right? Everyone likes you.”

“Uh…”

Qin Haodong was speechless. After arriving at the Lingwu Continent, he had been thinking about how to return to earth as soon as possible, so he hadn’t dared to fool around with anyone’s feelings in this world. He even said that he was gay. However, he didn’t expect that he would eventually get involved in so many love debts.

He sighed. He had been keeping a low profile. However, he didn’t expect things to turn out this way!

The Little Witch giggled and said, “Little Brother, so many beautiful sisters like you. How can you not be happy?”

“Uh…”

Qin Haodong didn’t know how to answer and suddenly the light circle of the soul interrogation disappeared. That voice sounded again.

“Right now, six of you have passed the soul interrogation. However, there is only one person who can enter the seventh floor of the pagoda. Now, I will ask the last question. Whoever answers correctly will be considered to have passed the final interrogation.”

The Little Witch whispered, “Guys, what question do you think he’ll ask?”

“Maybe it’s about cultivation. It must be very profound…”

“Not necessarily. The pagoda is so mysterious. Perhaps it has something to do with formations.”

Everyone whispered for a while. The voice continued, “Dapeng can take off with the help of the wind. Please tell me what the next sentence of this poem is.”

“This…”

Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect the last question to be like this.

Qin Haodong’s mouth was wide open in surprise. Why did the poem of the Tang Dynasty written by Li Taibai suddenly appear in the Lingwu Continent?

The voice spoke again, “You have one minute to prepare. If you can’t answer, leave the pagoda.”

The Little Witch said in surprise, “Who knows what poem that is?”

Murong Jinghong said, “I don’t know. Is it a weapon?”

Tu Jiaojiao said, “I think it might be a kind of cultivation method…”

On the Lingwu Continent, the main focus had always been on martial arts and there had never been any poems or poets. They naturally did not know what a poem was.

A trace of curiosity rose in Qin Haodong’s heart. No matter what, he had to go to the seventh floor to have a look.

Seeing that a minute was almost up, he went forward and said, “Fly up to 90,000 miles in the air!”

Hearing Qin Haodong’s answer, the Little Witch said in surprise, “What is this? What is my little brother talking about?”

The voice said, “Congratulations! You’ve obtained the qualification to enter the seventh floor of the pagoda.”

Suddenly, a beam of light shot down and enveloped Qin Haodong. Then, he disappeared from the sixth floor of the pagoda.

The Little Witch cried out in alarm, “What’s going on? Where’s my little brother? Where is he?”

Tu Jiaojiao said, “This should be a teleportation formation. No wonder there are no stairs on the sixth floor of the pagoda. We can only reach the seventh floor through the teleportation formation.”

The Little Witch said, “What should we do now?”

“Let’s make the best use of our time to recover and wait for Haodong to come down,” Murong Jinghong said.

Everyone agreed to her proposal. Qin Haodong had just treated their injuries but they had not fully recovered yet.

In the pagoda, accidents could happen at any time. Improving one’s cultivation was the best solution.

Zhao Xingyue said, “Everyone, hurry up and treat your wounds. I will protect you.”

Qin Haodong’s eyes lit up. When he regained his vision, he had reached the seventh floor of the pagoda.

Compared with the other six floors, this place was much smaller, about 20 or 30 square meters. However, the Spiritual Qi here was extremely rich, almost a hundred times that of the outside world.

“This is truly a good place. Cultivating here will definitely be several times faster than cultivating outside.”

Qin Haodong sighed. He naturally knew that this was not the time to cultivate, so he began to look around.

He looked around and found that there was nothing there. The surrounding walls were empty. There were no treasures to speak of.

“Little fellow, stop searching. There are no those inferior treasures here.”

Qin Haodong looked back and saw a white-haired old Taoist in a black robe behind him. He was very familiar with this scene. This was the spiritual sense left by the predecessor.

“My name is Qin Haodong. Nice to meet you, predecessor.”

“Since you can come here, it proves that your strength and temperament are good.” The old Taoist Huang Long said, “Little fellow, are you from Huaxia?”

“Yes, I’m from Huaxia.” Qin Haodong was slightly stunned at first. Then he said, “Predecessor, you also know Huaxia?”

The old Taoist smiled and said, “I was originally a Huaxia cultivator. In order to leave this pagoda to the younger generation from Huaxia, the final question is a poem of the Tang Dynasty left by my old friend Li Bai.”

Hearing that the old Taoist Huang Long was also from Huaxia, Qin Haodong was overjoyed. Since the old Taoist had come here, he must know of ways to go back.

He hurriedly asked, “Predecessor, how did you get here? Is there any way to go back?”

The old Taoist Huang Long sighed and said, “When I was experiencing, I accidentally fell into a space crack and came to the Lingwu Continent by accident.

“I did not even know how I got here, so how could I know the way to go back?

“I have cultivated here for three thousand years and have yet to find a way back. In desperation, I can only ascend to the Immortal Realm here. Hopefully, I will be able to go back and have a look in my lifetime.”

At this point, a look of regret appeared on his face.

Qin Haodong was also disappointed for a moment. Originally, he thought he could find his way home with the help of the old Taoist. He didn’t expect that the old Taoist had been trapped here for 3,000 years.

Although he was disappointed, the old Taoist Huang Long gave him a glimmer of hope. The Tang Dynasty was only about 1,000 years away from the present, but the old Taoist had cultivated here for 3,000 years.

Although he did not know when he came to the Lingwu Continent, at least the time shaft of the two worlds was different. If he made the best use of his time to cultivate, things would not be different when he returned.

The old Taoist Huang Long continued, “Little fellow, since you have passed the soul interrogation left by me, you are now the master of the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

“Compared with this pagoda, those treasures, such as swords and knives, etc., are nothing. They are only low-level treasures I left to attract people here.”

Qin Haodong felt refreshed and asked, “Predecessor, what’s the function of this pagoda?”

The old Taoist Huang Long said, “The Seven Storeys Pagoda is not an offensive magic treasure. It has three main functions.

“First, there is a Spiritual Qi Gathering Formation left behind by another predecessor. The Spiritual Qi here is a hundred times denser than that outside. Cultivating here will yield twice the result with half the effort.

“Second, once the Seven Storeys Pagoda recognizes you as its master, the bone legion and the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants will listen to your commands.

“Thirdly, the Seven Storeys Pagoda has a teleportation function. No matter where you are, you can be teleported here immediately if you want to come back.”

Qin Haodong was overjoyed. These three functions were getting good, especially the last one, which was really powerful.

This meant that no matter how powerful the enemy he encountered in the future, he could always hide in the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

He said, “Thank you, predecessor!”

“Alright, I don’t have much time left. Let’s do the master recognization ceremony quickly.”

After the old Taoist Huang Long said that, a ball of light rose from the Seven Storeys Pagoda and entered Qin Haodong’s brain in an instant.

Qin Haodong felt something appearing in his mind. Then he had a feeling of being connected to the Seven Storeys Pagoda. Every corner of the pagoda was clearly shown in his mind.

Right now, he could completely control the bone legion and the Illusory Spirit Flying Ants. He could even control the lives and deaths of others in the pagoda.

In other words, this pagoda was his world. He was the god of this place.

“The Seven Storeys Pagoda belongs to you from now on. I’m leaving.”

After the old Taoist Huang Long finished speaking, the spiritual sense he left dissipated into the void.

Qin Haodong bowed to the direction in which the old Taoist Huang Long left. Then with a thought, he returned to the sixth floor.

After seeing him, the Little Witch immediately pounced on him. “Little Brother, you’re back. What good things are up there? Is there anything delicious?”
